2009 Pittsburgh Offense?

[Cardinals]

C Brian McCann
1B Daric Barton
2B Jeff Baker
SS Elvis Andrus
3B Wes Hodges
LF Ryan Braun
CF Dexter Fowler
RF Matt Joyce

Bench players:
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Melvin Mora
Sean Casey
Jon Jay
Matt Brown
Roger Bernadina

Looking young, but looking pretty good. Some more help in the minors coming in the form of Mike Moustakas, Ben Revere, Austin Gallagher and hopefully eventually Kevin Ahrens. Joyce has been a pleasant surprise as a pickup, an OPS of around 980 in the MLB and he did very well in AAA (.902 OPS.) Hoping for him to end the year around .830 or above, so that's pretty realistic.

Nearly three months later, our core is still in tact with the offense with some tweaks that will benefit the team.

C Brian McCann
1B Sean Casey
2B Jeff Baker / Alberto Callaspo
SS Yuniesky Betancourt
3B Wes Hodges
LF Ryan Braun
CF Dexter Fowler
RF Delmon Young

Bench:
Matt Joyce
Elvis Andrus
Roger Bernadina
Dmitri Young
Christopher Gimenez
Daric Barton
Xavier Paul

We're headed in the right direction with a young and extremely talented OF that will just continue to get better. McCann is a fixture behind the plate. Betancourt is keeping the seat warm for Andrus, and Moustakas will eventually supplant Hodges at 3B.

This offense will hopefully score just enough runs for Lincecum, Haren, Lackey, Floyd and Looper.

3B Wes Hodges
LF Manny Ramirez

Daric Barton
